Demons in the night infiltrating my dreams, peaceful sleep interrupted by my screams
A dark cloud descends to take me away, I pray for the light of day
Paralyzed, I can't move but I can see them and I am terrified because I can't fight them
My sheets are drenched in sweat from my fear, voices in my head that only I can hear
I strain to make out their words, each one shouting to be heard
My lips move but I don't know what I am saying, but I'm probably praying
Calling on a God that I know exists, asking him to remove the evil that makes me want to slit my wrists
These demons ask too much of me and nothing comes for free, they wanna suck the life out of me
I won't allow that to happen, I'm stronger than they know
All the pressure building inside me is about to blow
I'll leave that black dog starved and bound on his ball and chain
And once again I'll be free to dance in the rain
The demons at night try to take my soul but I;m not giving it up, I won't drink from their tainted cup
I will win and they will lose, and I'll walk away without even a bruise
The daytime demons they have many disguises and tricks, so I got my own bag of tricks
Try and test me and you might get your *** kicked
**** around in the wrong hood and you asking to get beat
I'm no bad *** but I can hold my own so you might see me on your street
I done some dirty **** in my time, rough, tough and didn't give a ****
Shoot a mother****er in a minute and then swear I wasn't the one who did it
Cops are such a joke when it comes to crime
They don't care if someone really did it as long as they can get you some time.
Cops are dirty we all know that I took a beating my self in 2003
But it wasn't nothing I couldn't handle, it aint the worst that's happened to me
Sometimes I really think that I was cursed from birth
But I must have some serious worth
I should a died a long time ago but I'm still here, I can't believe I'm still here
My attitude is changed a lot, I don't bang anymore, but I still got my fam and friends back that's for sure
So if you see me out just say hi, but if you start some **** Ima black that eye
I don't need friends with no moral values, or people with ****ed up attitudes
I'm living my life to the fullest and trying to forget the past, that ****'ll come around and kick you in the ***
And I'm not looking to the future either cause plans made almost always fall apart
Just ask anyone and they can tell you from the heart
I got good love in my life, a wonderful wife
And a family that's growing, and inside I'm still growing
Trying to be a better person than the thug I used to be, I'm becoming a new me
I think that's why the demons fight their hardest to wreak havoc
They can fight for my soul all they want but God already has it
